At Cubs
Boys get guidance

by Don Gillanders
TERRACE — Boys eight to ten are full of energy,
itching to explode but anxious for guidance in
channelling their energy into worthwhile acti-
vities. Cubbing gives your boy that opportunity—
an opportunity for games, stories, music, crafts,
acting, and outdoor fun and hard work.

Cubs have the chance to work, play and learn
together with adult leadership. Having fun and
adventure, exploring the community, working
together and developing skills, that’s Cubs — an

had been. prepared in
consultation with the
Gitksan Wet’suwet’en.
As a result, the Seven
Sisters Society recom-
mends in its published
study, that the land be
given ‘“‘park preserve’
status rather than class
‘A’ park designation,
pending a final decision
on the land claims ques-
tion.
The Society’s study
concludes that a
moratorium on tree
harvesting in the area
would potentially
eliminate eight full-time
seasonal jobs in the
forest industry. Sneed
argued, however, that the

impact of withdrawing

the disputed area from
the commercial forest
base could be minimized
by redirecting logging to
another area through
changes in timber supply

allocation. He supported

this contention by citing
B.C. Forest Service
figures which indicate
that 83 per cent of the
forest within the propos-
ed park boundaries is
commercially worthless.

RDKS board members
were reluctant to endorse
the proposal without fur-
ther information. A mo-
tion was carried to send
letters to the B.C. Forest
Service and the Ministry
of Parks, requesting in-
depth studies of the idea.
